Former President George W. Bush extended his congratulations to President-elect Joe Biden in a statement Sunday, saying the former vice president had “won his opportunity to lead and unify our country.”In a stateme…
Dengue, deadly viral disease silently sweeping through the Caribbean – Repeating Islands
A vast majority of cases are asymptomatic or mild and self-managed, and hence the actual numbers of dengue cases are under-reported. Many cases are also misdiagnosed as other febrile illnesses. The number of dengue cases reported to WHO increased over 8 fold over the last two decades, from 505,430 cases in 2000 to over 2.4 million in 2010, and 4.2 million in 2019. Reported deaths between the year 2000 and 2015 increased from 960 to 4032. This alarming increase in case numbers is partly explained by a change in national practices to record and report dengue to the Ministries of Health, and to the WHO. But it also represents government recognition of the burden, and therefore the pertinence to report dengue disease burden. Therefore, although the full global burden of the disease is uncertain, this observed growth only brings us closer to a more accurate estimate of the full extent of the burden.

Covid-19

I know many of us are currently basking in the glow of the Biden/Harris win yesterday, but here’s a grim reminder of what is still at stake in terms of the pandemic. There’s another outbreak at the White House with at least six aides testing positive, including Trump’s Chief of Staff, Mark Meadows. More than 130,000 new cases were reported Friday, and hospitalizations and deaths are increasing in 27 states. With almost 10 million people who have been infected, we have now lost more than 237,000 souls. President-elect Biden is making the pandemic a priority and will be announcing his coronavirus task force on Monday. As you try to wrap your head around the unimaginable toll Covid-19 has taken on this country, check out artist Suzanne Brennan Firstenberg’s “A Field of Flags.”
Window on Eurasia — New Series: A Contested Election in US ‘Ideal Situation for the Kremlin’ and Putin is Promoting That, Eidman Says
But the fact that Donald Trump is incapable of accepting the results is “extremely useful for Putin.” And the Kremlin leader “will use the situation to the fullest extent possible and try to blow up the United States.” Those who care about democracy and the US must be just as vigilant about Russian interference after the elections as they were before.

Turkey: The Return of Demons
Erdogan’s empire-building project has also led him into deeper involvement with the remnants of the Muslim Brotherhood, and through them, with Jihadist adders that could one day decide to sting Turkey itself. Copying the Khomeinists, who have created their foreign legions in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Yemen, Erdogan is recruiting mercenaries among the Turcoman in Iraq and local jihadists in the Syrian province of Idlib.

El Amor por la Mercancías: el Valor que los blancos dan al Oro que tanto desean
In the past, many of our people died as a result of your epidemics. Today, I refuse to let our children and grandchildren die from the golden smoke! Hunt down the gold miners from our house! They are harmful beings whose thinking is dark. They are metal eaters covered in the deadly smoke of the xawara epidemic.
Como dice el portavoz Yanomami Davi Kopenawa en su libro “La caída del cielo”: ” Hoy no quedan muchos grandes chamanes en nuestro bosque. El humo dorado de las epidemias lo vació casi por completo. Nuestros padres y abuelos no confiaban en los blancos y siempre temieron sus vapores epidémicos. No sabían que habían venido a marcar los límites de Brasil en medio de nuestra tierra. Nunca imaginaron que más tarde los hijos y nietos de estas personas volverían en gran número a explotar los ríos en busca de oro. ¡Nunca pensaron que estos extranjeros algún día los expulsarían de sus hogares para tomar sus tierras! ¡Entonces las epidemias de xawara siguen su rastro e inmediatamente comenzamos a morir una tras otra!
Somos los pocos habitantes del bosque que sobrevivimos a los vapores epidémicos de sus padres y abuelos. Por eso quiero…
